What about the rest of the stuff you didn't mention, like the Secret War, Wolvie's books, and House of M... What I'm looking at picking up right now is: Avengers: Dissassembled - 10 New Avengers Breakout - 10 And One (or two) of the following: Secret War - 20 House of M - 15 New X-men Vols 1 + 2 - 20 Marvel Knights Spider-man Millars 12 issue run Run - 20 Wolverine Enemy of the State Vol 1 - 15 (Leaning toward New X-men & something) On the outside of this I've got, which I'm not really considering right now are: More New Avengers The second Wolverine book Bendis' Daredevil run The Rest of New X-men Ultimate Spiderman The Ultimates And two Batman stories that I'm interested in (Hush, Long Halloween/Dark Victory) I'm moving away from the Secret War because all they have is the Hardcover. I'm actually moving closer to the Marvel Knights or New X-men books, just that would put me in the 40 buck range and with 50 buck purchase I would get free shipping. If I got one 20 dollar book and a cheaper book (10-15), it would get me the free shipping. It makes me want to lead towards New X-men and House of M, but then I wouldn't be reading the build in the way you suggested, which I quoted above. The other New Avengers books, I'll wait until the TPB's come out, I'm pretty patient when it comes to this sort of thing. So Yoda what you think? A couple other questions: There are a few Dissassembled books focusing on individual members of the Avengers, my guess is after they've been broken up, are important or no? Have you read the Kevin Smith Spider-man/Blackcat story: The Evil That Men Do, I have the first 3 but then Smith LAGGED for so long and I fell out of comics that I forgot to pick them up. If you read them, can you tell me if it's any good? Also one last question, the Daredevil line...who was writing between Smith's run and Bendis' run? Is it worth getting or checking out? In your recs you didn't really mention it? I mean really I love Bendis and it seems like he's practically taken over all of Marvel.

Read House of M and New Avengers: Illuminati. Those two will help you understand Civil War that much more... though, reading every issue of New Avengers (19 at the moment) would be the best introduction. The current Executive Director of SHIELD, Maria Hill, seems to have it in for the Avengers, specifically Captain America. If you know that going in, the tension between Cap and Hill will mean so much more in CW#1. As will Cap's reaction. So you suggest I should read the crash course/essentials to the build to the civil war.

You know, I've been a little too ambitious, I would have no clue where to start now. Got any suggestions? I'm leaning toward the TPBs that lead to the Civil War, just because that has got me so intrigued. But with X-men being on my mind right now, due to the movie and the fact that I just read Astonishing X-men Hardcover volume 1 like 4 times, I'm also thinking about leaning in that direction. A couple other questions, with the Avengers Dissassembled books, there are a couple side books that involve the Dissassembled storyline with Cap America and Iron-Man, are these integral to the Civil War story or no? And another question, have you read the Spider-man: The Evil That Men Do, I bough the first 3 issues and then Kevin Smith LAGGED with the last 3 and I never heard about it untill now with them releasing a hardcover, anyways what's your opinions on it? No doubt, you've been awesome Master Yoda with the help and the info. I know I've been a pain in the ass...but I promise my next question won't ask you to order them for me.

Ok Strange that none of the quote stuff is working. Have you read his the new ones? If you have have, without giving spoilers, are they any good? How do they compare to the first run? Yeah, I was thinking about getting into Morrison's run of the New X-men. I head lots of good stuff about it. I know you're not hugely into X-men, but if somebody else can tell me something (good, bad, worth a look, don't waste your time, etc) about the Ultimate run or the new Uncanny books (without spoilers), I'd be pleased. If the Weapon X book is the original one, than I've read it. I was so hyped up at the time because I heard so much great stuff about it, that I found it kind of a letdown. The Origin story I have also read (online actually, a few years ago, Marvel had a bunch of full comics online so I just sat down and read them). I tend to dislike a TPB if I read it in one sitting (the whole TPB at once), but if I read it in couple sittings (a couple issues a sitting anywhere from 1-3) and take my time to recognize how awesome of a job they're doing, I tend to enjoy it a lot more. Also it's harder, for me at least, to enjoy comics when reading online. I LOVE Ultimate Spiderman, and I know it's always good. Just couldn't keep up with it. Does Bendis still write it? Thanks for those suggestions...I'll check those out. Just wanted to mention I have a few oldschool Spider-Man TPB's including Death of Kraven(one of my favorite books ever), The Death of Gwen Stacy, and the Sins of the Father. I don't know why I wanted to mention that just wanted to do it. I had no idea about this. Was the Marvel Knights Spider-man line continued after Millar left or did they discontinue it? I knew about them going to a new numbering system, had no idea they went back to the old one though. I actually read a couple Staczynski books at Barnes once, had a villian name Ezekiel. I'm pretty sure it was Vols 1 + 2 that I read. It was a while ago but still I read them, and thought they were very good. How was his run controversial though. Oh I know Frank Miller is famous for his Daredevil run. Again I'm not a fan of the character, so I don't know if I would check these out. I had no idea Bendis went to work on Daredevil. He was awesome on Ultimate Spiderman. So I may have to check this out, even though I'm not a fan of the character. I'd like to hear more about this. I didn't read the long Spoilerific quote. But IF I were to get these, should I be getting them in any specific order or anything. Is it worth getting? Are they of varying degrees of goodness? Just some more info on these is all. The House of M, doesn't that span across like 5 books. One of my friends loves the Ultimates, which is why I considered giving it another shot. For me I'm just not a huge fan of the Cap (Captain USA) but I can stand him (especially when he's yelling "FINAL JUSTICE!!!" in MVC 2). Again not a fan of the Cap so I doubt I'd ever get books just about him. Fantastic Four never seemed like the strongest written characters, so I don't know about them. They always seemed to get the short end of a stick as far as character development and writing go. Know nothing about Alias or Marvel Zombies (but with the pictures in my head, Marvel Zombies sounds HELL-Arious). I'm also probably more willing to give the Ultimates and Daredevil a chance over these books. Punisher never really intrigued me. So I don't know if I'd ever run into there. I get enough my badass man on a mission through James Bond and Jack Bauer. Helped A TON! Again as you can tell, I'm very partial to Spider-man and X-men/X-Verse books but am open to Daredevil (especially with Bendis writing!), Avengers/Ultimates, and Hulk. I'm pretty close minded to much anything else. Though if Fantastic 4 got something good rolling, you never know. They started releasing an Age of Apocalypse collection. How about some info on that? I think I tried to read part of it a while ago, but it was just way too confusing. But I can't remember it was so long ago.

I basically haven't read comics in ages. Hey guys, I just read Astonishing X-men 12 book series by Joss Whedon. It was fantastic. I was wondering if anybody has got any other reccommendations (old or new) for me to take a look at. Any specific Ultimate X-men arcs that I should check out (I've read teh first couple, through the Weapon X)? I already own: X-men Children of the Atom Astonishing X-men by Joss Whedon X-men: God Loves, Man Kills (I think that was the title) I heard that the New X-men series was pretty awesome. I tried to read a bit of X-treme X-men but couldn't get into it. Don't know anything about any of the new Uncanny books. I also love Ultimate Spiderman but haven't kept up, since Venom first got involved in the book. Did it get any better, are there any specific TPBs that I should take a look at? Also any mainline Spiderman books that I should check out? I own that one DareDevil TPB wriiten by Kevin Smith which was fucking amazing I might add. But I'm not a fan of the character as a whole. Also one question what is this House of M stuff that I hear? Is it worth checking out? Also I am QUITE intrigued by the Civil War storyline, but it's just been released in the regular comics, is there any TPB's that precede that, and are they worth or necessary to get. I'm basically looking for Marvel reccommendations (But I am really partial to the X-men franchise and Spider-man franchises, but willing to check out anything) ...I've heard stuff about the Ultimates but when I tried to read it, I had a hard time getting into it. I may give it another try at the Barnes & Noble. I know I'm being broad but any help would be good.

Just in case anybody was interested, these are free comics posted on the web. I didn't think any of them were any good and it's a shame because I am a huge fan of the series, but anyways if anybody else wanted to check them out. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/buffy/ecomics/
